Two of the most striking experimental findings when investigating exciton spectra in cuprous oxide using high-resolution spectroscopy are the observability and the fine structure splitting of $F$ excitons reported by J. Thewes et al. [Phys.…
The recent observation of dipole-allowed $P$-excitons up to principal quantum numbers of $n=25$ in cuprous oxide has given insight into exciton states with unprecedented spectral resolution. While so far the exciton description as a…
We demonstrate that the optical linewidth of Rydberg excitons in Cu2O can be completely explained by scattering with acoustical and optical phonons, whereby the dominant contributions stems from the non-polar optical modes. The consequences…
High-lying Rydberg states of Mott-Wannier excitons are receiving considerable interest due to the possibility of adding long-range interactions to the physics of exciton-polaritons. Here, we study Rydberg excitation in bulk synthetic…
Excitons are neutral excitations that are composed of electrons and holes bound together by their attractive Coulomb interaction. The electron and the hole forming the exciton also interact with the underlying atomic lattice, and this…
The complete theoretical description of experimentally observed magnetoexcitons in cuprous oxide has been achieved by F. Schweiner et al [Phys. Rev. B 95, 035202 (2017)], using a complete basis set and taking into account the valence band…
In this work we predict the existence of a novel species of Wannier excitons when exposed to crossed electric and magnetic fields. In particular, we present a theory of giant-dipole excitons in $\textrm{Cu}_2\rm O$ in crossed fields. Within…
The complex valence band structure of bulk cuprous oxide necessitates going beyond the parabolic approximation to precisely estimate exciton binding energies. The same is true for excitons in cuprous oxide quantum wells, for which many…
We theoretically investigate exciton-polaritons in a two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor heterostructure, where a static magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane. To explore the interplay between magnetic field and a strong…
We propose a scheme for calculation of optical functions of a semiconductor with Rydberg excitons, for a wide interval of dimensions. We start with 2-dimensional structure, then going to thin films and ending on 3-dimensional bulk crystals.…
Exciton-polaritons are mutually interacting quantum hybridizations of confined photons and electronic excitations. Here we demonstrate a system of optically guided, electrically polarized exciton-polaritons ('dipolaritons') that displays up…
Excitons, i.e. the bound states of an electron and a positively charged hole are the solid state analogue of the hydrogen atom. As such they exhibit a Rydberg series, which in cuprous oxide has been observed up to high principal quantum…
Highly excited atoms with an electron moved into a level with large principal quantum number are fascinating hydrogen-like objects. The giant extension of these Rydberg atoms leads to huge interaction effects. Monitoring these interactions…
Excitons, as bound states of electrons and holes, embody the solid state analogue of the hydrogen atom, whose quantum spectrum is explained within a classical framework by the Bohr-Sommerfeld atomic model. In a first hydrogenlike…
An exciton theory for quasi-one dimensional organic materials is developed in the framework of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Hamiltonian augmented by short range extended Hubbard interactions. Within a strong electron-electron correlation…
We present a many-body theory for exciton-trion-polaritons in doped two-dimensional materials. Exciton-trion-polaritons are robust coherent hybrid excitations involving excitons, trions, and photons. Signatures of these polaritons have been…
Rydberg excitons are, with their ultrastrong mutual interactions, giant optical nonlinearities, and very high sensitivity to external fields, promising for applications in quantum sensing and nonlinear optics at the single-photon level. To…
We report measurements of the attenuation of a beam of orthoexciton-polaritons by a photoionizing optical probe. Excitons were prepared in a narrow resonance by two photon absorption of a 1.016 eV, 54 ps pulsed light source in cuprous oxide…
The electronic exciton polaron is a hypothetical many-body quasiparticle formed by an exciton dressed with a polarized electron-hole cloud in the Fermi sea (FS). It is predicted to display rich many-body physics and unusual roton-like…
Rydberg excitons (analogues of Rydberg atoms in condensed matter systems) are highly excited bound electron-hole states with large Bohr radii. The interaction between them as well as exciton coupling to light may lead to strong optical…
